Am @ 58F here as well this morning (my low so far). With the breeze yesterday, didn't expect it to go that calm that quick overnight.  That radiated all the built-up heat from the asphalt and cement pretty efficiently.  Even though it was "cooler" yesterday here (high was 79F), the August sun was still pretty intense.

Many of you may know (or not know) but a tradition dating back to eastern days (maybe longer?) has been an NFL pick em contest run in the sports forum.  The schedule for each week is posted typically sometime on Tuesday and participants quote the post, bold the teams they think will win, predict a tiebreaker score for the Monday night game, and the weekly/season standings are then posted on Tuesday as well.  This contest is free.  

However, last year we introduced a pay pick-em league.  This league is run using yahoo and at the end of the season the top 3 people win money (65% for 1st, 25% for 2nd, 10% for 3rd).  We are hoping to get as many people as possible to join...the more people the higher the payouts.  We will also be doing weekly winners with that payout all dependent on how many are signed up...but think $10 per week unless we have a ton of sign-ups.  

Anyways if you're interested further details are in the pinned thread on the sports side...below is the link

Bizarre little cool front approaching with a humidity drop and lower temps predicted of 60F tonight and 59F tomorrow night. Where did this come from? Was anticipating heat and humidity until the front arrived Wednesday.

Bring it on! Love seeing Summer come to an end with shorter days/lower temps then the transition to Fall....

Another day of 90 or above in the books, current temp 91/DP 61/RH 37%

Was the 11th day this month >=90F here, 26th day this summer.  

 

Haven't reached 1 inch of rain here this month and probably won't.  Sitting at 0.96".  I guess that makes up for the 8.89" of rain in July......

Anybody notice that the models are trying to pull TD 9 or what is left of it back towards the coast of NJ?

Yes - yesterday the GEM had it, now it appears that all but the Euro have it pretty much coming up the coastal plain (until VA or so) as opposed to offshore. Likely to change, but interesting.

And another front busts on the dry side. Trending is a miss with the tropical so boring weather ad infinitum 

 

 

I got a bit under 0.2" of rain overnight (and a little this morning that wasn't enough to make any difference), but had expected at least 1/2" or more.  Looks like southern Chesco may have cashed in based on the radar returns last evening.  Currently 76F and the dews are still pretty juicy in the upper 60s.

Later this afternoon/this evening and overnight dews should go down. Tomorrow should be near damn perfect...cut the lawn in nice weather before the holiday weekend.

Saturday looks to be good too.  Hoping to get some bbqing in before the next brief little heatwave later next week!

A mid afternoon Sat BBQ will still be nice...probably clouds rolling in but nice and no rain. Go to the park early (bike ride/walk) for some sun then eat/drink during the afternoon...that's what I plan on doing. Sunday looks a mess...at best, pretty much cloudy w/spotty showers.

Did end up getting exactly 1 inch of rain for August, and another 0.56" this morning. 

Has been a lackluster summer for weather and now that I have a four day weekend with plans of jet skiing down the shore, the atmosphere decides to send a tropical storm this way.  Go away Hermine!  lol
